Theresa laid on her back as she thought through her plan. Tony was smart, and she had to find someway to get his attention. Based on her observations, there was an opening in the woods that she could escape through. She smiled as she felt the kick of the baby in her stomach. She only had 4 more months to go and she prayed that she would be able to go into labor with the presence of her family in the local hospital.
"Let's go." Tony said suddenly as he burst through her tent.
"Where are we going?" Theresa asked as she sat up.
"Just to get you a bite to eat at the B&B." he said grinning.
"What? You're setting me free?" Theresa exclaimed.
Tony laughed and shook his head, "How could you be so foolish? I already told you my plan. Just wait until we go there and leave and no one would even know that we were there."
"What do you mean?" Theresa asked sitting up.
"According to my sources, Fox goes there every afternoon to look over whatever clues he has. We're going to go in disguise to see what he has."
Theresa smiled, "I get to see Fox!"
"You will do as I say. If you squeal who you are to anyone then I'll hurt you. Matter of a fact, I'll just leave Little Ethan here with Chloe and if you make one move I'll see to it that he's hurt." he ordered.
"You wouldn't do that." Theresa said with fear in her eyes.
"He's not my son, so why would I care?"
Theresa didn't say anything, she just sat there.
Tony threw a dress at her, "Put this on, and hurry up." He walked out of the tent leaving Theresa to change and to think.
________________________________________________________
"Remember what I said. Not one move." Tony reminded Theresa as they stood at the door of the B&B.
Theresa decided that it would be best if she followed Tony's orders and fixed her red wig. "Got it."
They walked up to the counter to order food.
"What can I get you today?" the cashier asked.
Tony cleared his throat, "I'd like a tuna sandwich and a coke. What would you like sweetie?" he said fakely.
Going along with the plan Theresa answered with a fake southern accent, "I would like a bagel with cream cheese and a large cappucino."
Tony handed the cashier the money. "She sure likes to eat." he said smiling. He had disguised Theresa in a dress that made her look like a fat rich woman, rather than a kidnapped pregnant woman.
The cashier gave them the food and they walked over to a table.
"Good job, I loved the accent." Tony said complementing Theresa.
"Yeah, whatever." Theresa said as she sipped her cappucino.
"He should be here any minute." Tony said looking around. As if on cue, Fox walked through the door with a handful of papers. Tony smiled in delight, "He's here."
Theresa's head snapped up as she watched Fox walk over to the counter. Her heart began to beat and she wished that she could tell him it was her. She had missed him so much, oh how she loved him. She watched him as he walked over to a table in the corner and looked at some papers. She smiled at how cute he looked with his rustled hair. If only he knew that Little Ethan was their son.
"Let's go find out what he has." Tony said standing up. "Remember, your name is Fiona."
Theresa just rolled her eyes and followed Tony.
"Argue with me." he whispered to her as they approached Fox. "Honey, I could have sworn you told me the Blue Note was located here." he said loud enough for Fox to hear.
Theresa sighed and played along, "Darling, I was here a few months ago and it was right here! I swear it!"
"You know how you forget things some time and make up stories."
"Are you calling me a liar?" Theresa screeched.
Fox looked up, "I'm guessing from your conversation that you're looking for the Blue Note."
Tony smiled and walked over to him. "Yes. My wife says that this is the Blue Note but its a food shop!"
"Harry, must you tell on me?" Theresa said without taking her eyes off of Fox.
Fox smiled, "Well uh, the Blue Note is a couple of blocks away. My father owns it."
"You're a Crane?" Theresa exclaimed with a gasp.
Fox nodded, "Yeah. Unfortunatley."
"I've heard so much about you at my...tea parties! Nice to meet you! I'm Fiona Applegate!" Theresa said happily and stretched out her hand for Fox to shake.
Fox smiled and shook her hand sending a shiver down both of their bodies. They stood there for a moment staring at each other until Tony pinched Theresa.
"Oh, well. Why don't we go find the Blue Note sweetie!" Theresa said to Tony.
"Whatever you say." he then turned to Fox. "Nice meeting you." He grabbed Theresa by her arm and they sauntered out of the B&B.
Fox looked after them, thinking about what happened. He just shook his head and went back to trying to think of where Theresa could be.
"Let's go." Tony said suddenly as he burst through her tent.
"Where are we going?" Theresa asked as she sat up.
"Just to get you a bite to eat at the B&B." he said grinning.
